Social media unhealthy for mental health: Daisy Ridley

December 8, 2017 4:22 pm

Actress Daisy Ridley, who quit Instagram this year, says social media is bad for mental health. “The more I read about teenage anxiety, the more I think it’s highly unhealthy for people’s mental health,” Ridley told agency.

“It’s such a weird thing for young people to look at distorted images of things,” she added. Ridley has been vocal about quitting social media.

She left Instagram after facing backlash for sharing a post about victims of gun violence. She will next be seen reprising her role of Rey in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”.
